Mr.. A. T. Atkinson, Inspector
General of schools, who was a
passenger up, left the steamer at
Lahaina, for five weeks tour of
inspection of schools on Maui.
Biship Willis and Mrs. Willis
landed at KeaIakekua bay, to visit
districts in Kona, and again joined
the steamer at the same place on her
return trip, coming back to Honolulu
by her.
One up passenger, DR.. Haedicke,
left the Hall at Punaluu, proceeded
to the Volcano, saw the worlds
wonder in this line, and was back
again to Punaluu in time to return
to Honolulu by the steamer. DR..
Haedicke is stranger on the islands,
direct from Germany.
The Hall landed maceration mill
at Honuapo, for Naalehu plantation.
The machinery was heavy for hand
ling in an open roadstead and taking
ashore in surf boats; but the land
ing operation was successfully ac-
complished, and all in one day.
The district of Pahala has been
visited with welcome, refreshing
rains. 1t fell in one continuous gen.
tie shower during the whole of last
Friday night. The guage registered
fall, for that night, of fifty-nine
hundreds of an inch. AT Hilea three
inches fell the same night.
On Saturday night, between eleven
and twelve O'Clock, steady, vigor-
Gus earth shake, which lasted about
eight or ten seconds, was felt
throughout the Kau District, and
was followed, few minutes later,
by lighter and shorter one. 1t
appears to have been severest at
Kapapala ranch, where Mr.. j. Mon
sarrat's house was slightly removed
from its foundation, and his kitchen
stove rather roughly shaken up.
This is the only damage, which is
triaing, reported up to the time of
the steamers leaving.
The Pahala sugar mill is prepar-
ing for grinding the new seasons
crop, and expects to begin about
Monday next. The crop consists of
about 1900 acres of cane.
DR.. Raymond, who resides at
Naalehu and is physician for the
district of Kau, is spoken highly of
by his patients and the people, as
deligent in the discharge of his
duties, and particularly kind and
attentive to those who need his
services, promptly answering all
calls, even at long distances, at all
hours and in all weather,
A little eight-year old girl, on
visit to Pahala, told her father that
they had Government roads up
there. On being asked what kind
of thing that was, she replied "roads
with great rocks and hollows in
them, just like a creek with no
water: that's what they call Govern
ment roads" She certainly des-
cribed the roads OF the district
pretty accurately, whether the charac-
teristics mentioned are distinctive
features of Government roads or
not.
The Kona coffee crop, which is
now being gathered, is unusually
good. The season is said to have
been the most favorable for the trees
and the fruit for long series Of
years. W
The cane fields at Lahaina and
Olowalu look delightfully."- green and
healthy from the Steamers deck.
Mr.. Spencer, Inspector Of Immi-
grants, returned to Honolulu by the
Hall, after making an inspection on
all the plantations in the Kau dis
triot.
II the Hawaiian Islands are the
Paradise of the Pacific" the high
lands of Oahu, Molokai, Maui,
Lanai, Kahoolawe, and Hawaii, visi-
BILE along the Halls route, are o
very desolate, uninviting locking
paradise,
